NGD X20 Ziricote
After 4 months she finally arrived
 Everything I was hoping for, this guitar sounds as nice as she looks! In addition to the ziricote veneer I went for a pinless bridge and a custom neck. The neck was supposed to be similar to my Collings OM, but it feels skinnier and more C-shaped than Soft V. Luckily I find it very comfortable and playable as it is anyway. For the sound sample you'll find much better on Emerald's website than anything I could provide  Here are a few pictures sent by Alistair with the guitar.

Gorgeous.
Splendid wood veneer choice, I like the yellow color contrast. The X20 is an excellent guitar, you should be very happy,

Stunning X20! Congratulations. I can see why folks are choosing the woody. Emerald does such a great job with the photos. I love that they include those on a USB stick with each guitar.

Whoa! What a beauty!! Welcome to LEWCO - the Lucky Emerald Woody Custom Owners club! Great call on the Ziricote with sapwood, very pretty. I considered a pinless bridge as well but it added enough extra cost to the final price to be not worthwhile for me so I went with standard.
As for your neck, did you provide a mold sample to Emerald of your Collings or did you just request? I know in my case I requested a Santa Cruz soft V but they had no examples of that neck so they sent me a mold compound and had me make a mold and send it back. I'm thinking if you just stated Collings neck and they had access to a Collings there then that might be the difference. I was hoping that Alistair made a mold of my final neck on my custom and would use it for people looking for future soft V necks. That way when I order a custom woody X7 in the future he can recreate the exact neck I have on my X20!
